What a difference a week makes. Last week, we saw some of the coldest air to hit NYC in quite a while. This week, we’ll have the chance to hit 60°F. Two low pressure systems will impact the area, the first is not forecast to produce precipitation, while the second will likely bring rain. Both of these lows will bring a surge of warm air in their warm sectors prior to the passage of the trailing cold front accompanying them. Enjoy the balmy February weather while you can, because the warmth won’t last.

Rest of today – mostly sunny with high temperatures reaching into the low-50s. Patchy fog developing overnight with low temperatures near 40°F.

Tuesday (Lunar New Year)– a mild start to the day gives us a shot to reach into the upper-50s. We’ll be in the warm sector of the first low. If a deck of low clouds builds in and persists, we might be a bit cooler in the mid-50s. On the other hand, if we get a relatively sunny day instead we could see high temperatures around 60°F. Overnight lows considerably cooler around 30°F with a dry cold frontal passage from this first low pressure system.

Wednesday – a cooler start to the day should result in temperatures only reaching the low-40s. Clouds increasing, and rain expected to develop overnight into Thursday with low temperatures in the mid-30s.

Thursday – a few degrees warmer with high temperatures in the mid-40s and rain. Rain expected to taper off a bit after the warm front associated with the second low to hit us moves north of the area. This will set us up for a warm day on Friday as well. Overnight lows going into Friday not much cooler than day time highs, in the low-40s.
